*Name the game* let's try again?

[==Troy==]

nope, sadly. I will give another hint and if noone guesses, I will name it.

This is a large hint :

You have got a character in game, which can transform into 3 types, one is human-like, which has a good agility, and also grappling hooks, axe etc. (everything is made from metal)

Second is a metal dragon, not such agile one, but in the end it has a shield, flamethrowers, and a controllable metal mosquito.

And a third one is a tracked robot, which is a weapon, with machineguns, radar and torpedo.


The general aim of the game is to get through obstacles, such as enemies, holes in ground, lava, bosses... Everything is not just shoot-em-up, but rather try that, dont work, try something else.

where is the new game to name?

[Kaleo]

How' bout this one...

[NiTRoX]

Mind waiting for your turn idiot?

[Death On Ice]

Kaleo: You're out of turn, but Doom?

[mooseberry]

Actually I think the rules are that if the winner doesn't post for 48 hours, than anyone can go.

Don't just think but quote the first post with the rules
So Kaleo just snatched himself the turn - gj flaming him Nitrox

[lesbroot]

Heretic.

[Rocinante]

Actually I think the rules are that if the winner doesn't post for 48 hours, than anyone can go.

That's true, however in MM's unedited original post he'd said he wouldn't be around until Monday, and had even posted a pic for his turn since he was positive his response was correct and wouldn't be available to post one until then.  Oh well.

That is true, but as the picture was removed (not discussing whether or not that was best) than there is nothing for us to guess for 48+ hours, and therefore anyone can post.

So this leaves us either to go for Kaleo's pic and guess it or flame Lava for brutally editing MM's post and whine about not being fair here and yell at Lava some more that he should've just saved the original post's text format and should've edited it back in in a quote so if MM was right he could've had his turn etc. until someone guesses Kaleo's game and posts a new one - I stick to the first option since I never saw the unedited MM post...


@Kaleo: what about some hints or replies if anyone got it right?

[Lava Croft]

Since we had numerous people slipping through with pictures, I might have been over-zealous in removing MM's post. But, since 48h is 48h and I am a spineless bastard, I'd say we go with Kaleo's pic of Heretic running in a non-standard engine.

[Kaleo]

Heretic.

Yes!

Sorry, I was away from my computer for a couple of days...

You realize MM was very clear and polite in stating that he might not be back for a little while, and that by posting a picture he was trying to be thoughtful and make things easier for everyone right? Most humans respond to that sort of behavior in kind, placing courtesy and sensibility above arbitrary rules. We call it "society"!

The More You Knoooow! :D

[Shadowgandor]

Someone needs to add 1 point to lesbroot; Kaleo

[Tycho]

Someone needs to add 1 point to lesbroot; Kaleo

or someone should edit the scoreboard in there with +1 to lesbroot...

Also: is that Star Wars: Tie Fighter?

i will give the hint that having a certain type of computer will improve your chances of guessing this significantly.

Too bad he did it for himself and you doubled it - fixed the scores

Kevlarman: is this some freespace 2 related game? The ship is awfully similar...

[kevlarman]

not freespace (2)
edit: i'll put up a hint tomorrow morning if no one gets it by then
